NEW ORLEANS – The U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) has announced the All-Region honorees for the 2014-15 NCAA Division II indoor track & field season.

The top five individuals in each event from each region earned the All-Region distinction, in addition to each of the members of the regions’ top three relay teams. The regions used for this award match those used during the cross country season.

Women’s All-Region honors went to 519 women, chief among whom was New Mexico Highland’s Salcia Slack. The senior from Kingston, Jamaica, racked up All-Region honors in seven events – more than any other men’s or women’s athlete in the five-year history of the award.

Four individuals have won six honors apiece in the history of the award, the most recent being Academy of Art standout Vashti Thomas in 2013.

Not only is Slack among the top five in her region in seven different events, she’s among the five nationally in DII in four of them, and top-25 in all of them. She’s the No. 1 in the pentathlon, No. 2 in the 60-meter hurdles, No. 4 in the triple jump, No. 5 in the long jump, No. 20 in the shot put, and No. 22 at 400 meters, and is also a member of the No. 9 4×400 relay.

Maria Curit of Stonehill was next with five, while 18 more women accumulated four awards apiece.

Men’s honors went to 547 different men. A pair of men shared top honors with five each in Academy of Art’s Jordan Edwards and Alabama-Huntsville’s Devin Jones.

Edwards is the Division II leader at 400 meters by nearly a full second, and is equal to No. 13 in the nation at 200 meters.

This marks the third year in a row Jones has accumulated five All-Region honors.

Eight more men earned four All-Region honors apiece.

Leading the country in men’s honorees was Shorter with 32, followed by Benedict with 25, and Alabama-Huntsville and Grand Valley State with 23 each.

Shorter also topped the list of women’s teams, also with 32 honors, followed by Alabama-Huntsville with 28 and Southern Connecticut with 24.

The Northeast-10 was the best-represented conference for the men with 89 honorees, followed by the GLIAC with 78 and the GNAC with 75. The NE10 also claimed top honors for the women with 82, followed by the GLIAC with 77 and the GNAC with 75.
